Media Reviews
"Comparisons with Borges, Cortazar, Calvino, and others...are beside the point. Eliade was always out on a limb of his own." - New York Times "I was excited to discover in this tale by Eliade the key themes that I most hope to understand better: time, consciousness, and the dream-like basis of reality. For me it is indeed a return to the ambitions I had for my work in cinema as a student." - Francis Ford Coppola "A wonderful blend of realism, surrealism, and fantasy, [Eliade's novellas] suggest the importance of the mythic and the supernatural to finding meaning in the everyday. Highly recommended." - Library Journal "Youth Without Youth reads like a surreal collaboration by Jorge Luis Borges, Kurt Vonnegut, and Carl Jung. Mircea Eliade left me with the rare sense that I had been entertained by a genius." - William Allen, author of Starkweather and The Fire in the Birdbath and Other Disturbances"
